Presentations #1

The first two days of presentations have gone well for the most part. It's been either a good refresher for things we've already learned or a simple way to learn the material, depending on the topic. Going over the Korean War again was helpful. Like Mike said, it often gets lost in between the World Wars and Vietnam. With, in my opinion, the only noteworthy thing about the Korean War being M*A*S*H, it gets hard to keep all the information in my head and not get it confused with the Vietnam War or something else entirely. I'd forgotten all about the 38th Parallel and everything that goes along with it. I don't recall learning about the Maastrict Treaty or the euro before. What was covered in the Israel presentation was nearly impossible to take notes on, and I didn't really learn much.
